Psalms 24

1 A psalm of David. The earth is Yahweh's, and its fullness, the world, and all who live in it.

A PSALM OF DAVID. To YHWH [is] the earth and its fullness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

2 For he has founded it upon the seas and established it on the rivers.

For He has founded it on the seas, And He establishes it on the floods.

3 Who will ascend the mountain of Yahweh? Who will stand in his holy place?

Who goes up into the hill of YHWH? And who rises up in His holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up a falsehood, and has not sworn an oath in order to deceive.

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, Nor has sworn to deceit.

5 He will receive a blessing from Yahweh and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

He carries away a blessing from YHWH, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, those who seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)

This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Your face, O Jacob! (Selah)

7 Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, everlasting doors, so that the King of glory may come in!

8 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty; Yahweh, mighty in battle.

Who [is] this—“the King of Glory?” YHWH—strong and mighty, YHWH, the mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, everlasting doors, so that the King of glory may come in!

Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!

10 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

Who [is] He—this “King of Glory?” YHWH of hosts—He [is] the King of Glory! (Selah)
